The Craggus (360 KP) rated Cold Pursuit (2019) in Movies

Cold Pursuit (2019) isn't worth following
Hardly the frozen “Taken” we were promised by the marketing, this remake of the director’s own 2014 film "Kraftidioten" has moments of sublime black humour but is too disjointed, derivative and haphazard to do justice to its cast or premise...

Satirical clap-trap
I think I'm missing something, I just didn't get it one bit, I researched the back story but still not sure. I'm not a huge fan of satirical humour in that detail either. Accents are horrendous, gave me a headache after just ine episode

Rolling Stone's 316th greatest album of all time
Fantastic album, featuring so many amazing rock songs, from the sublime "Where is my mind" to the bonkers "Broken Face". A band with so much personality, intelligence and sense of humour, and an ability to mix in different styles and tempos of song.

Good for a kids film
After seeing the secret Life of pets, I felt I needed to then see the second one. We opted for the new odeon luxe that has opened. I feel that this may have contributed to an increased score. The storyline was good, no prolonged intro which was great for the kids. Some scary moments which my daughter wasn't too impressed with but every movie needs its ups and downs! Some excellent humour and some excellent correlation to real life (fox in the farm, cone of shame). Overall, something just didn't hit the spot to say it was fantastic, however overall a good film

Concept
Excellent, but hasn't aged well.
Not one of John Cleese's best films, but a good one nonetheless.
Clockwise is a very typical road-trip comedy, but from before everybody was doing it.
The plot can be summed up as A-B, hijinx along the way etc., as I said: very typical. But as this is John Cleese it stands apart from the typical road trip comedy, with classic British humour (not for everyone, but I love it), and a protagonist not unlike Cleese's Basil Fawlty character.
Unfortunately the film hasn't aged well, most of the predicaments could be easily solved with modern technology, and the film certainly shows its age.

This looked OK from the trailer, didn't realise it was a remake of a Norwegian film. It looked like it would have a decent amount of action with some humour.
In reality there is a bit of action, nothing amazing, mainly some shoot outs. The humour though just didn't hit the mark for me. I'm not sure if there were trying for a Tarantino type of angle or more comic book but it just falls flat largely. Another role for Liam Neeson like his last several roles of everyday guy turned badass all of a sudden.
So just average overall, check out @6 Underground (2019) instead for tons of action and laughs.
